Yasmin Tukur

Yasmin Tukur graduated with a Bachelors degree in Liberal Arts from the University of Warwick where  she  specialised  in  Systemic  Sustainable  Development  and  Cultural  Studies.  Yasmin’s research background draws from interdisciplinary study across Sociology and Global Sustainable Development focusing on global socio-economic inequities and minority represented groups to interrogate  the  intersections  of  history,    decolonisation,  culture  and  socio-political  systems  of power.

At Oxford, she is currently a Black Academic Futures Scholar and plans to build on her undergraduate  research  thesis  to  expand  scholarship  on  present-day  West  African  cultural production  across  art  and  film  and  develop  expertise  in African  knowledge  systems.  

Beyond academia, Yasmin  has  worked  closely  with  several  educational  non-profits dedicated to creating grassroots impact through long-term local and community-oriented support.
